Application filed January 6, 1920. Serial. No. 343,703.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMORY, G. Per ume- TON, a citizen of the Un'ted States, residing at Miami, in the county of Roberts and State of Texas, have invented new and useful of which, the

Improvements, in, Calendars, following 1s a specification.

This inventlon. comprehends, the-provision of a calendar wherein the body or backing thereof is provided, with, a, slot through which each, of the respective pages, of the calendar is. passed, .subsequent to its use,

so that the. said pages. can be preserved forbeing provided to future reference, means normally cover theslot, and to conceal the latter andthe used pages, from view, thus affording the calendar a neat appearance.

The nature and advantages'of the invention will be better understood when the following detail description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this specification like numerals of reference 1ndicate similar parts in the several vlews and wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a calendar constructed in accordance with my invention.

2 is a view of the reinforcing element for the flexible hinge.

Fig. 3 is a similar view strip.

' Fig. 1 is a similar view of the cover.

Fig. 5 is a view of the facing for the said strip.

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the cover elevated and the slot interposed.

Fig. 7 is a viewshowing one of the pages passed through the slot. 1

Fig. 8 is a vertical sectlonal view through the calendar showing one of the pages passed through the slot and its cover in normal position.

Referring to the drawings 1n detail, 10 1ndicates the body or backing of the calendar which may be constructed from any suitable material and of any desired dimensions, and provided with an eyelet 11 at one end for suspending the calendar from a suitable support. The body 10 is provided with a transverse elongated slot 12 at an approof the adhesive priate point in its length, thegpurpose of which will be'hereinafter described. The;

edges of the slot are reinforced by any. suit ablematerial such as indicatedat 13. The

pages 14: of the calendar are secured aua point iv 1mmed1ately beneath the lower edge. ofthe slot in the usual well known manner. Approximately one-half of each page is utilized for the data with, referenceto the days of the month, the other. half of each page, as well as the major portion of, the body or backing. 10, being utilized for advertising matter. 1

Secured to the body 10 at a point immediately abovethe slot 12, is a, narrow strip of cardboard or other suitable. material-15. This strip serves as a reinforcement for the flexible hinge for the cover 15 which normally covers the slot 13. The hinge is in the nature of a strip of adhesive material 16 which has one edge secured along the reinforcing element 15 and its opposite edges secured to one side of the cover 15. A strip 17 covers the adhesive strip 16, being secured thereto in any suitable manner, the strip 17 being folded over the upper edge of the reinforcing element and secured to the back thereof. The strip 16 is to give the hinge and cover 15, at its point of connection with the hinge, a nice finish. The cover 15 on one side contains advertising matter, while the opposite or under side of the cover is used to contain data relative to the more important days of the year, and on which particular page of the calendar they will be found.

In use of the calendar the pants are normally arranged in the manner illustrated in Fig. 1, in which position of parts the cover 15 normally conceals from view'the slot 12. Subsequent to the use of each page 1 1 of the calendar, the cover 15 is elevated to the position illustrated in Fig. 6, and said page passed through the slot 12 to lie at the rear of the calendar. The cover 15 is then returned to its normal position to conceal both the slot and the used page, thus affording the calendar a neat appearance. In this manner the respective pages of the calendar, subsequent to their use may be-preserved for future reference] The pages of the calendar may project beneath the lower edge of the body 10, in which instance the pages on of the invention Will be readily apparent I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself in this connection and that such changes may be resorted to When desiredas fall Within the scope of What is claimed.

Whatis claimed is 1. A calendar comprising a backing having a transverse slot, a reinforcing element embracing the edges of said slot, a plurality of pages secured to the back and immediately beneath the slot and adapted to be singly passed through the slot, and means normally covering said slot concealing the slot from view.

2. A calendar comprising a backing having a transverse slot, a plurality of pages secured to the back and immediately beneath the slot and adapted to be passed singly through the slot, and a cover hinged to said backing and arranged to normally cover the slot to conceal the letter from view.

3. A calendar comprising a backing having a transverse slot," a plurality of pages secured'to the back and immediately beneath the slot and adapted to be singly passed through the slot, a transversely disposed reinforcing element secured to the backing 85 and immediately above the slot, and a cover hingedly associatedivvith said transverse element and normally disposed to cover the slot from view. i

4. A calendar comprising a backing hav- 40 ing a transverse slot a plurality of pa es secured to the backing and immediately eneath the slot and adapted to be passed through the slot, 'a transverselydisposed reinforcing element secured to the backing and immediately above the 7 slot, a strip of flexible material secured to said reinforcing element, a cover for the slot, said cover being; carried by the flexible material and normall I disposed to cover the slot from view, the flexible material providing a hinge for the cover. I v

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
